fret_man Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I took advantage of the current NI 50% sale (for another 4 days) to upgrade my Kontact 5 to Komplete and using Native Access to download/install the products. As many of you know, this takes quite a while. I noticed that after installation the downloads are deleted! Is there any way to keep the downloads? Or re-download but not install (again)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I believe that all that is deleted are any zip or rar files. The files themselves are in the directory you installed them in, which is listed in Native Access. You can keep a backup of the uncompressed files. I do. NI allows you to have their instruments on up to three computers as long as they are yours and you only use one at a time. All you need to do is make sure that Native Access is pointed to the right place. But there are often updates, so you end up having to download them again anyway. When I first bought Komplete, it came on a hard drive, but it is mostly out of date now. Native Access is the only way to get the latest versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good idea, since we can't keep a copy of the downloaded file from NI. Uncompressed files backing up as I type! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse g Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 If you delete or remove the installed items from the computer the downloaded stuff will be available from Native Access again. I was having problems with Battery 4, so I thought. I then went to my control Panel and under programs and Features, I located Battery 4 and uninstalled it. I then restarted my computer and then went opened Native Access. Battery 4 was listed as being uninstalled so I download it again. I was able to install it just as though it was never there before. Everything in Native access can be re-installed. I made a back up of my Sample Library location in case something should happen. There are tutorials on how to manage your Library files on the NI site. NI SUPPORT SITE NI KNOWLEDGE BASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
